You know for sure that everyone you meet, and also want to stay in contact with, gets the latest technology for exchanging information digitally, and knows how to utilize it. Not everyone has a smartphone. Not everyone knows how to use their smartphones. Not everybody has the correct version of the app that you need to use for getting and providing contact information.

You can danger looking forgetful or fly-by-night. People at our present stage of evolution still seem to be paper-oriented animals. (Unless you are networking using a time-traveler in the future, or Vox from the entire world Xibatron.) If someone asks you to get a business card and you have to reply, “I do not have one”, they can get the impression that you simply walked out of the workplace without them by mistake. That could cause you to seem flighty. Or they might think you haven’t been in business long enough to publish cards. Or that you jump into and out of business ventures often. Either way, not owning a business card may diminish your credibility.

You don’t mind getting submerged in the flood of information that’s coming at your prospects. When you look through your pile of snail mail, what exactly are you really going to pull out and examine first? How about a handwritten envelope? The same principle creates a printed business card evident in the tidal wave of e-info that your prospects deal with daily.

Let’s admit it Printed business cards usually do kill trees. So, let’s make sure those green wonders don’t die in vain. Here are suggestions for creating your printed business cards an effective advertising instrument:

Pick pleasing paper. Choose a paper stock that’s inviting to touch base. Maybe somewhat thicker than the ordinary card. Not too much feel on the surface, but not absolutely smooth. And make certain the colour of your paper stock will not change the colours of what’s printed onto it, whether that’s a full-color photo, or your business’s logo. No mustard-yellow paper to your glowing red logo, as an example. (I speak from bitter experience.)

Use both sides. This helps because we all have so many pieces of contact information now. Using either side gives you more space to describe custom URLs and societal networking links.

Change the size. Because your card probably doesn’t need to fit in a Rolodex anymore, is it a different size? How about a larger card which folds down to the conventional 2 x 3.5 dimensions?

Change the contour. Rectangles aren’t required. Can your print vendor change the contour, even marginally, without increasing the cost by far? Request about rounding the corners (also referred to as radius corners), or using an existing perish from a previous project.

Print fewer cards at a time. Contact information and job titles vary quickly. Print in smaller quantities at a time to remain flexible. If your card has to incorporate a fancy, expensive touch (such as a custom die-cut, embossing or foil-stamping), see whether you can print “cubes” with places left blank, so that the shells can be put back on the media and overprinted with this new info in smaller batches once the time comes. Printing fewer also gives you more flexibility to try including different or more information in your card. As an example, you could try including a QR code to your own card, print 50-100, and see how people respond.

Have over 1 card. Who says you can not have two (or more) different versions of your cards? Try a variant with more contact info, or different types of contact information. Maybe a version that emphasizes one of your company’s abilities over the rest.

Consider an un-card. I’ve seen fortune cookies, army “dog tags”, oversized movie tickets, wooden clothespins, playing cards, guitar picks and beverage coasters utilized as the basis for outstanding cards. For inspiration, accumulate examples of business cards you like before you redesign or reprint your next batch of cards.

Together With Your Company Cards Well

Now that you have got a fresh batch of cards you are pleased to hand out, Here Is a refresher on using them nicely:

Stash ’em everywhere. In multiple areas: briefcase, pockets, glove box. In each of these areas, save the cards in some kind of case that’s a little different. It can be a conversation-starter.

Utilize them in the ideal moment. Attempt to get out of the habit of thrusting a card in your contact too early in your initial conversation. Build rapport by discovering things in common first, then exchange cards only before you part ways.

Ask for (and give) seconds. When you’re exchanging cards, ask your new contact for just two of his/her cards. Start looking for opportunities to pass that excess card on to a third contact who might need your new contact’s solutions. Likewise, offer two of your cards.

Make notes, subtly. The majority of us want a memory-jog by the time we sit down to really do something with business cards we’ve received. As soon as possible do it politely, write a few notes about your new contact on the back or at the margins of the card you received from him/her. But avoid writing on a person’s business card in front of him or her. This can force you to look forgetful, or make that person feel as though you’re defacing what he/she just carefully handed to you.
